I think the point is that your perception and reality are maybe divergent. You're not in danger if you watch a gang fight unless you are caught in crossfire which is exceedingly rare in France due to lack of guns. It's unpleasant yes (I've been there with rubber bullets from riot cops) and will get your adrenaline pumping but it's not really dangerous.
